Second Chance Rival by M. Robinson

Release Date: August 23

From Wall Street Journal and USA Today Bestselling Author M. Robinson comes an enemies to lovers, arranged marriage, second chance standalone romance.

The only thing I was looking forward to more than marrying my enemy…

 

Was seeing her pregnant with my baby. 

 

But I guess that’s why I’m the bad boy of my family—but she’s always played the good girl. 

 

If they only knew the things she begged me to do all those years ago, when I was sneaking in through her bedroom window. 

 

Before I left.

Before I broke her heart.

Before she hated me.

 

She doesn’t have to love me. 

Hell, she doesn’t even have to like me. She just has to marry me to merge our feuding families… 

 

Best part of our contract is we have to produce a bloodline heir. 

 

My reasons for agreeing to an arranged marriage have nothing to do with claiming our inheritance… 

 

And everything to do with claiming the woman I love.

My Review

This is the fifth book in the Second Chance series. I love this series. This is an excellent Second Chance and forbidden romance, filled with angst and secrets. Tristian and Belle are great characters. Tristian is handsome, caring, and supportive. Belle is smart, and independent, I liked Tristian determination. The characters are well developed and the storyline is interesting. The ending is heartwarming. I enjoyed it. Looking forward to read Second Chance Mine, the next book in the series.

My Review

This is the third book in the Less Than Zero Series, an interconnected standalone Rockstar Romance. I believe it is better to listen to this series in order. Connor and Ronni's slow burn romance is slow paced, raw, steamy, and beautiful. Ronni is such a complex character, strong and beautiful. Connor is handsome, supporting, and caring. They are both great characters. Their story takes place over a long period of time and it was captivating, and heartbreaking to follow them in their emotional journey to love. The supporting characters are great. Richard Sawyer and Rose Dioro did a great job with the narration. I enjoyed it. Looking forward to listening to Timeless, the next book in the series.

Release Blitz: The One to Heal By Liz Lovelock

 

Title: The One to Heal

Series: Rose Ridge Ranch #1

Author: Liz Lovelock

Genre: Sweet Contemporary Romance

Release Date: August 11, 2022

BLURB

A heart can only take so much.

Delilah Reily was a broken soul. The only person keeping her pushing forward is her daughter, Olive. She returned to her family home. A place that holds so many memories, some good and some bad. It was now time to mend fences while also trying to fix a beyond repairable heart.

Sebastian King, Formula One racer, was a single father. He met Delilah on the worst day of his life. A day he’d never forget. A day that left him raising a five-year-old and a newborn—it seemed things had gotten a whole lot more complicated. After a year of healing and being unable to continue with his career as a race driver, he decided it was best to be with his girls. Without any plans in place, he booked a holiday at Rose Ridge Ranch and left the following day.

Sebastian never thought he’d see Delilah again. But fate had other plans. Sometimes love needs a kickstart with a horseback ride.

Rose Ridge Ranch is a place for the broken to be mended. The special to blend in. Love to be found in the most unlikely places. The heart to find a home.

Can Sebastian and Delilah help each other overcome the things that hold them back?

Blurb:

Lights. Camera. Action…

I've got everything it takes to make it in Tinseltown: confidence, charisma, and a killer chin. Now all I need is a chance.

But Los Angeles is full of hot, young hunks, and talent might not be enough to separate me from the cookie-cutter crowd.

Well, you know what they say: fake it till you make it.

So I devise a wild scheme to get noticed. Pretend I’m someone I'm not—goodbye Will O’Connell of Cincinnati and hello Liam O’Connell of Dublin. 

‘Liam’ and his talent with accents is enough to get myfoot in the door, but I never anticipated meeting the woman who has me more worried about keeping my foot out of my mouth.

Enter Raven Locke, the dark-haired bombshell who puts the ‘tude in tattooed.

On set, she's the costumer tasked with fitting my pants, but all I can think about is how to get into hers.

As my -- I mean, Liam’s -- budding career begins to heat up, so do our feelings.

While Raven pursues her passion for fashion; I chase her heart.

Our picture-perfect screenplay seems sure to send us riding off onto Sunset Boulevard… Until Raven finds out that Comedy and Tragedy aren’t the only masks I'm wearing. Our romance might be destined for the cutting room floor, unless I can salvage our story with a plot twist she won't see coming.

*This first-person, male-POV rom-com has it all: lots of heat, plenty of heart, and a Hollywood-worthy HEA.
